Descriptionof Im Dienste des Shogun

In 1600, English navigator William Adams was shipwrecked in Japan and interrogated by Tokugawa Ieyasu, Japan's most powerful warlord and later shogun. Instead of executing Adams as a pirate, he made him one of his closest advisors. This book tells the true story of William Adams, the English sailor who rose to become the first samurai and most powerful foreigner in 17th-century Japan, setting the course for the next 250 years of Japanese trade and foreign policy. William Adams' adventurous career in the Land of the Rising Sun inspired James Clavell to write his best-selling novel Shogun, which achieved cult status in the TV adaptation of the same name starring Richard Chamberlain. This first complete biography is based on original Dutch, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese sources and reveals much previously unknown information. Frederik Cryns tells the authentic story of Adams eventful life in its historical context and takes us on a captivating journey to Adams complex feelings and cosmopolitan heart.
